AUFORN NEWS NO.2

AUFORN VISITS THE UNITED STATES APRIL 2005
After leaving the UK we arrived in the USA and just as a matter of
interest and so you all know this as we weren’t informed, when you get
to the US the first thing they do in the form of a welcome is to
“fingerprint you and take your photo”, yes folks we are now officially
on some kind of data bank?? Nowhere else in the world that we have
visited did they do this and I read in a local newspaper that US Home
Land Security staff are being reported for intimidating behaviour and
scaring tourists away, interesting?!

UFO Encounter Area 51
After a goodnight’s sleep it was time to pick up the hire car and drive
out to Las Vegas. We spent three days in Las Vegas, did what we had to
then set out on our adventure to Rachel. The town of Rachel is located
in Sand Spring Valley, in the southern Nevada high desert, along the
world’s only Extraterrestrial Highway aka Hwy 375. ( http://rachel.dreamlandresort.com/rachel.html#RachelView)
(http://rachel.dreamlandresort.com/ethighway.html) It is located about
115 miles northwest of Las Vegas, separated from it by the restricted
area around the Nellis Ranges, and about 27 miles north of the top
secret Air Force Base Area 51.

Rachel was founded in May 1973 by D.C. Day, who owned an alfalfa farm
in the valley. The town was first called Tempiute Village, then Sand
Springs. Later, when the population grew, thanks to the reopening of
the nearby tungsten mine in Tempiute Mountain, it was named Rachel.

While staying in Rachel we decided to do a nightwatch so we set out
around 9.45 pm. It was a lovely clear night, no clouds and plenty of
stars. On the way up the road, two bright lights appeared at the top of
the road. Robert and I thought it could be a truck parked at the top.
The road to Groom Lake Road is long and straight with only a couple of
turn-offs. As we got closer to the light, the lights went out, but we
didn’t think too much about it other than Robert commented, “We should
notice if a truck was travelling down any road as the area is quite
flat and the lights will stand out”. As we got closer to the top of the
rise there was no sign of a truck. We made camp at the top of Groom
Lake Road with a couple from Reno we had met back at Pat’s. Thinking we
wouldn’t see anything as Pat, the owner of the Alien Inn, told us
nothing had happened for months, we were very casual about getting set
up. We were only there for five minutes when a light appeared above the
mountain range. The light was very bright and orange in colour. Another
light travelled from the top of the ridge that we had passed over on
our way to the top of Groom Lake Road. The light travelled so fast and
pulled up on a dime, which was amazing to see. I grabbed my camcorder
and started to film the light on the hill when another light travelled
from the same direction as the last light and again stopped on a dime.

Then the Reno couple commented they had never seen anything like it and
this was the first time they had seen any kind of UFO. Unfortunately I
was only able to catch a few minutes of video as the object disappeared
quite quickly.

The couple from Reno decided that was enough for them so they packed up
and we both drove back towards the Inn but Robert decided he wanted to
stay in the area for another half hour. As we drove Robert saw the area
begin to glow bright orange so he said, “Diane, pull over”. I parked
the car and we watched bright beams of light shoot up into the heavens.
Robert tried to get the attention of the Reno couple but they seemed to
be focused at getting back to Rachel as they drove right past us at
incredible speed. I said to Robert that they must have seen the beams
of light and got scared. Then the whole area started to glow orange and
the object appeared again on the horizon. This time a sound came from
the area; a sound which was more like a vibration. The sound travelled
towards us and when it reached us, it felt like it passed through us.
At that point I personally started to get a little worried, but Robert
wanted to stay longer. Then, having thoughts of people disappearing in
the dessert, I said, “Come on Robert, people have a habit of
disappearing in deserts”. We got in the car and drove back to Rachel.
On arrival we looked for the other couple and their RV but it was
nowhere to be seen, so we went to our cabin and bedded down for the
night. What happened during the night is another story which I will
cover in my next column.

The next morning we woke and went for breakfast with camcorder in-hand
as I was keen to show Pat the footage. While having breakfast Chuck
Clark, author of the Area 51 & S4 handbook walked in and Pat asked me
to show Chuck the footage. I asked what Chuck thought the object could
be and he said, “Just the same old stuff seen around here”. With that
thought in mind I was more than keen to get on the road to visit Death
Valley.

A TASMANIAN UFO MYSTERY.
Thankyou Keith Roberts for this report on Regatta Day UFO Sightings.

Introduction.
“UFO Mystery Deepens” said the Hobart newspaper, The Mercury, on 19
February 2005. The article referred to a UFO sighting that had taken
place the previous Regatta Day holiday weekend. The UFO sighting near
Melton Mowbray in the southern Midlands of Tasmania, had remained
unexplained despite considerable enquiries by the Tasmanian UFO
Investigation Centre (TUFOIC). The resultant publicity brought forth a
number of reports, complicated by a series of lights cases over
Hobart’s waterside suburbs. These lights were soon dismissed by the
Police (and TUFOIC) as the work of persons unknown letting off
parachute flares.
Sifting through the data collected it became apparent that a mini-flap
had occurred in the period late December to February. This was the best
sighting flap in the state since 1998. Prior to the media coverage of
the Melton Mowbray case, the Centre had only received three unexplained
reports during all of 2004. A couple of cases emerged before the
publicity, but it is a concern that without any media assistance, the
bulk of the sightings would have remained unreported. Needless to say,
the Centre would have been ignorant of the activity occurring on its
own doorstep. Just how many UFO sightings happen without us knowing
about it?

Sightings commence.
The southern Midlands stretches north from Hobart’s northern suburbs,
being mainly rural with areas of bush-covered hills, steep rocky
gullies, and mountains from 600 to above 900 metres. The main
north-south highway stretches through the area carrying traffic from
Hobart to the north and northwest of the state. The district is also
home to many who commute to the city to work but prefer to live in the
open country.

The flap got away to a fairly low-key start the evening of 25 December
2004 at Molesworth.
A group of people were relaxing outside when a star-like light was seen
in the area of Orion. At first it was assumed to be a satellite or
shooting star. However, the light continued on a path across the
northern sky before coming to a halt. The light then reversed direction
going out of sight into the northeast sky at an increased speed. The
bemused witnesses saw the same or similar light some minutes later
performing the same manoeuvre, crossing the sky, then going away to the
northeast. This performance was repeated on one more occasion before it
disappeared for good.

The first real puzzle of the flap came three days later in the early
hours of 28 December near the historic town of Richmond. Anne (1) and
her young son were returning from a trip to the East Coast. Her partner
was following in a second car some distance behind. She noticed a
distant bright light in the northwest sky. She thought it must be an
aircraft enroute to Hobart, but was puzzled by its movement back and
forth in the sky.

Anne continued heading home until she reached the hill into Richmond.
Passing the Brinktop reserve, she found that the light was approaching
rapidly. Within seconds it was passing over the road just ahead so she
slowed down and stopped the car. The big light looked to be two to
three metres across with a dark area in the centre with a red and blue
light below blinking rapidly. The object was now moving over a brow
about 200 metres distant, and as it did so a beam of light came from
the centre of the object and was moving about on the ground below. The
next thing Anne knew was that for thirty seconds her car was all lit up
by the beam, then everything went dark and the bright object just
seemed to have vanished like a light being turned off. Anne’s partner
now came over the hill and arrived at the scene. He had seen a distant
light but had not taken much notice.

Nothing else occurred until just after midnight on 18 January 2005.
This time the witness was driving to her home just north of Brighton.
She turned left off the main highway and was immediately confronted by
a strange green football-sized light, which had a rigid green tail. The
light was seen initially out of the driver’s window, and then it was
seemingly just above the car. The witness said the car seemed to lose
power at this stage but as she drove over the rise about half a
kilometre from the highway, the light had disappeared ahead. Some
minutes later, the witness pulled into her driveway and saw the green
light moving rapidly from a northerly direction. She parked the car and
got out for a look; at this point the light did a U turn and
disappeared in seconds into the area of Orion.

The scene moves north for the next report from Legana, ten kilometres
north of Launceston. Our two witnesses were up early around 4.30 am
when they saw a bright ‘something’ in the southeast. Mr L (1) raced
inside to get his binoculars for a close inspection as the bright
object was moving northwards. Through the binoculars he could see a
basically cylindrical object. There appeared to be a band of white
light above, yellow in the centre with red light below. As the cylinder
moved north it did so with the cylinder at an angle. However, every
time the object stopped, the cylinder took up a vertical position. The
cylinder would move, and then stop before moving on again. It gradually
gained elevation as it moved more to the northeast and was obscured by
a cloud bank. The sighting had lasted over ten minutes leaving Mr L
baffled for an explanation.

A Very Close Encounter.
The major sighting of the flap occurred on 14 February soon after
midnight. Jane, Terri, and Pam (1) were all travelling north to
Devonport. They had made a late start but the weather was fine and they
expected a trip not much over three hours would see them at their
destination.
They left the lights of Hobart behind and some 35 km north of the city
they passed through Pontville. Terri in the front passenger seat
noticed a set of three star-like lights low over the distant hills
ahead, one light being much bigger than the others. At this point in
the trip the car radio decided to fade out. She said nothing to Jane
driving and Pam in the back seat about the light but kept it in view.
However, after another 20 km she pointed the light out to the others.
Jane thought it may have been a ball marker on low power lines but soon
dismissed that idea as the light resolved into a football shape with a
steady red light on the left and a blue light on the right.

The light now became an object that was coming towards the car, at this
point Jane brought the car to a stop. The object seemed to be on top of
them, then over the roadside with a beam shining onto the ground. All
three witnesses got out of the car to look at what they took to be some
strange aircraft or helicopter. The beam was lighting up a square area
in the paddock, and the fence was clearly visible as was the dry grass
in the paddock. The beam seemed to come from front or beneath the
object. All the witnesses heard a quiet humming sound as the object and
beam moved in unison across the paddock at a height of some twenty
metres and distance of fifteen metres. The object was estimated as
being eight to ten metres wide and moving so slow that had it been a
plane it would have fallen from the sky.

Descriptions of the object varied at this stage. Jane and Terri
described a dark shape above a bright light and beam, the red and blue
lights being no longer visible. Pam felt they were looking at the
bottom of the object with lights below. As it moved away, the beam went
out. Jane saw a dark curved top with some lighter patches; Terri saw a
triangle shape like a tail at the rear, and inside this triangle an
orange light was revolving in a clockwise direction. Pam recalled a big
bright light receding away towards the Kempton hills.

The witnesses now continued on their journey north noting the time of
the sighting at 12.12 am. They stopped briefly at Perth for a coffee
and arrived at a relative’s home in Devonport at 3.55 am. The trip from
Melton Mowbray had taken another 3 ¾ hours, the best part of an hour
more than normal. Jane was also puzzled that they left home at exactly
11.38 pm but somehow reached Melton Mowbray about midnight, a test
drive a few days after the sighting took 50 minutes for the same trip.

Following contact with the Police, the witnesses were referred to
TUFOIC. A full investigation proceeded with details of the event
collected and contact made with a number of authorities and local
contacts (2) in the sighting area. Air traffic, helicopters, and
astronomical explanations were soon ruled. A Department of Defence
contact said that to fly in the manner reported in the sighting would
only be performed in a life or death situation, anyone attempting to
joy ride in that manner would soon crash. Flying anything at night
requires training and instrument skills, let alone crossing the country
at low level. Military exercises are held in strictly defined locations
and not over public areas. The sighting was reported in the The Mercury
(Thursday 17 February 2005). The resultant publicity brought forth more
sightings but nothing to help with an explanation for the encounter at
Melton Mowbray (3).

Tracking a UFO.
The night following the Melton Mowbray event, the Centre received five
interesting sightings; four of the reports within about two hours of
each other and separated by only about ten kilometres in distance.
Initially a motorist travelling south near Epping Forest about 8.30 pm
reported a bright round white light which appeared to the rear of his
motor vehicle. He was able to look to the rear and observed a light
that looked to be a couple of metres across. The light remained to the
rear of his car for some five minutes before just disappearing.

Near midnight the H (1) family was returning home from the fireworks at
the Hobart Regatta, and were travelling north near Mangalore, about the
same location as the start of the Melton Mowbray sighting. The father
saw what he took to be an approaching aircraft to the west of the
highway. The family home is beneath the flight path of commercial
flights into Hobart Airport and they see overflights nearly every day.
However, the lights ahead crossed to their east and seemed to stop
before moving north at slow speed. The family was then rather surprised
to find that their car was now overtaking the lights, leaving them
behind to the rear on the driver’s side. The father saw a red light and
a strong white light with a light beaming down below with a flashing
blue light. The driver (mother) saw white lights, three above, one in
the centre, and three below in a capital I pattern. The son saw a
similar pattern to his mother. However, his colours were three red
above two strong yellow white, with two flashing blue lights below. The
apparent size was hard to estimate and they commented it looked
car-sized.

The lights looked low just above the treetops to the east and maybe
moving away towards the hills (Butlers Hill?). The father and son tried
to look back at the lights, but they seemed to have disappeared. About
the same time or maybe just after Mrs W (1) on a farm near Rekuna (ten
kilometres east of Mangalore) was up late tending to the children. As
she went to bed a bright glow outside caught her attention. Looking out
she could see that there was something on or just beyond a hill some
400-500 m to the northwest. A brilliant white light was shining through
the trees, the glow being as tall as the hilltop trees. Mrs W watched
for a few minutes but could not make out a source for the light. She
continued onto bed. About ten minutes later, she was still wondering
about the light so she got up for another look. The light now seemed to
have moved further back from the hill and was not as prominent. A few
days later, she visited the light’s location but there was nothing to
indicate that anyone or anything had been on the hill. The area is
rough and rocky with dry grass.

The scene returns to Mangalore at about 1.45 am when a lone witness
reported a brilliant white light and beam over Laskeys Hill just to the
west of Mangalore. The witness who is in the habit of retiring late
always inspects the night sky first. The bright ball was illuminating
the trees and grass on the hillside. The light remained stationary for
nearly fifteen minutes before it disappeared at great speed to the
east.

The fourth sighting was now made at Native Corners, again about ten
kilometres east of Mangalore and just a few kilometres north of Rekuna.
Mrs N (1) said she had to get up in the early hours, about 2 am. She
found that the usual dark interior of the house was quite bright as if
lit up from somewhere. Upon returning to bed she saw a large white ball
low over the hillside northeast of the farm. The light was surrounded
by a glow and had a tinge of red on the left hand side. The
half-moon-sized light did not show any movement and after some ten
minutes, she dozed off to sleep. The next morning, her sister also
commented on how bright the area about the house was in the early hours
of the morning. The moon had set that night about 10.45 pm.

Final Reports.
Two more sightings brought the mini-flap to a close, one from Swansea
on the state’s East Coast, the second from Campania just a short
distance from the events on 14 February.
A Swansea witness awake in the early hours of 28 February (3.30 am)
noticed a bright light or group of lights to the southwest. The light
which was white seemed to also have flashing blue and red lights. At
first it looked to move back and forth in a zigzag manner, then north
across the western skyline. The witness alerted her partner to view the
lights which after ten minutes were in the northwestern sky. The
witness did not see what happened to the lights as she returned to bed.
The final event occurred about 9.15 pm when Mrs R (1) of Campania
witnessed a row of lights moving low over a hillside just west of the
town. There appeared to be something dark with steady white lights on
it plus some other coloured lights. The lights looked to be just above
a gully before they disappeared behind a small hill. A couple of
minutes later, the lights reappeared moving across in front of the
hill. The silent object then departed over the gully where it had first
been noticed.

Conclusions.
The Centre has investigated the cases to the best of its ability,
taking a common sense approach and not recording cases as unexplained
when there has been a plausible explanation. The sightings themselves
present some points of interest; to begin with, the obvious close
geographical location of the events. Most cases involved a major bright
white light, sometimes with a glow or beam of light capable of
illuminating the ground below. The objects in all but one case were
silent and in most reports made slow movements, quite often at low
elevation. A row or group of lights was also reported. The bulk of the
cases occurred late at night or in the early hours of the morning.

The sightings on the night of 14 February almost allow one to plot the
object’s movements. One witness asked, “Who is driving?” and “Where
does it go?” The ability to seemingly disappear in mid-air almost
suggests it does not need to go anywhere locally, but somehow goes back
to wherever it came from. The Centre (4) can with confidence, say that
whilst Tasmanians slept soundly in their beds last summer, a UFO moved
unimpeded across the night-time skies. Where it came from and where it
went is the mystery and that is why the ‘U’ in UFO still stands for
‘Unidentified’.

During the mid 1970s Mr Ryan worked at Lidcombe in Sydney, based in the
grounds of the Lidcombe Hospital. About 10.00 am one morning during a
break, Mr Ryan and a friend were having a cup of tea. They noticed a
silver saucer-shaped craft hovering just above the tree tops. It looked
just like a B-grade Hollywood movie flying saucer, dome and all. They
called a friend of theirs and asked him to look and when he looked up
he yelled out, “That’s a flying saucer”. The craft then tilted slightly
and shot away in a zigzag movement and disappeared. Peter Khoury

After picking up her daughter from Holsworthy Army Base, Amanda was
driving on Moorebank Avenue, Glenfield, New South Wales, about 200-300
metres before the Cambridge Road turn off. She noticed an object in the
middle of her windscreen about 45-degrees from the horizon and pointed
it out to her daughter. The object was yellowish orange in colour. It
was stationary for a few seconds but then moved to the right in an arch
and entered a cloud. It went quickly into the cloud and back out. It
did this three times but they didn’t see it come out again. Peter

In Ballina, New South Wales, while sleeping on the lounge in the TV

window from outside. “At the time I thought that I must be dreaming, so
I went back to sleep. The next day I kept thinking about it. I decided
to walk out to the garden, I stood at the spot where I thought the
light was emitting from. I noticed a circle in the grass. As I looked
around I noticed more circles in the area. We took some photos. I sent
copies to a UFO group in Sydney, but have not heard from them yet.

noticed four lights heading from south to north. There were three in a
row, the fourth was abreast of the centre line. They were travelling
12,000 to 15,000 feet high and moving very fast with no sound at
all. They were moving at twice the speed of a hornet plane. Peter

On the 18 November 2004, two witnesses in Dunnield Tri, new South
Wales, saw an object, in the eastern sky about 45-degrees from the
horizon. Mr Howe viewed the object with binoculars and noticed that it
was moving upwards and changing colour. It was brighter than the stars
and planets. He said that the object stopped, then moved again, then
stopped, then it shot up at great speed and disappeared. Mr Howe’s
mother, Jenny, stated that she had seen the same object the night
before. She was asleep when all of a sudden she was woken up by a very
bright light, like a beam from a torch which seemed to be coming from
outside. She chose to ignore it and went back to sleep.

Mr Howe had had an earlier sighting about ten years ago, while driving
home with his wife one night. They saw a hovering light which sat there
for a few seconds, then shot off across the sky and stopped on the
spot, about 30-degrees from the horizon. The object sat there for a few
seconds then shot straight up and disappeared. It looked like a
shooting star but in reverse. They thought it was weird, but left it at
that. Peter Khoury AUFORN/UFOESA

On Sunday morning at 10.00 am, David, in St Clair, New South Wales, was
taking photos of a dragonfly with his digital camera. He didn’t notice
anything unusual at the time, but as he was checking his photos he
noticed an oval-shaped silver ball in the background. David has sent
me a copy of the photo which I will pass on to AUFORN. Peter Khoury

AUFORN 5TH AUGUST 2005 PUBLIC MEETING:
Guest Speaker: Paul Clacher
Bio,
Former Telstra Technician to Marketing Manager. Griffith University
Director of Microelectronic Engineering, Australian Federal Policeman
as a Federal Financial Intelligence Agent. In 2001 Paul joined
WorkCover as an Investigator, was UFORQ Investigations Officer for a
short time.

Amongst many of Paul's qualifications he holds a level 3 from the
Colorado Centre for Healing Touch. Paul feels his work with ethereal
energy has allowed him to be in touch with other energy sources and
this is why he is so able to freely take photographs of Orbs, and on
odd occasions has capture photographs of apparitions.

How did Paul start:
How did it all start? Well, in 2004 my family and I decided to head off
on a trip around Queensland and fossick on the way and also do a bit of
site seeing as we went. The route took us to many fossicking sites and
areas of extreme and historical significance.

While on holidays my daughter wanted more than anything, to go to
Boulia and try to see some "Min Min" lights. My wife wanted to see
Western Queensland and I wanted to do all of that, but I also wanted to
look and fossick for stones.

While away I took a considerable number of photographs with my newly
purchased digital camera. My daughter, who is a bit of a brave
individual, suggested to me that we pay a visit to a local Pioneer
Cemetery in one of the country towns that we were staying at and take
some night photographs.

Now, I don't know if she was getting bored or not, but anyway, she
managed to talk me into it. What happened next, would be enough to
convert the staunchest skeptic.

After a counter meal dinner at the local pub, we made our way to the
pioneer cemetery and just to add a bit of fun for my daughter, I told
her I would call in the ghosts, so I did. With a bit of fun in mind
and trying to add a little bit of tension to the event my daughter then
took some photographs with the digital camera and I said
"can I have a look".

My daughter was sort of shocked. I asked "what's up", and she showed me
the photo that she had just taken. The shot was filled with what
looked like "Orbs" 72 in all, or could they be "Min Min" lights. I must
admit I was a little shocked myself.

I then took some shots myself, you could say this event stirred my
interest in digital photos. During the rest of that holiday and up
until the current this date I have taken many photographs with my
digital camera and it appears I can hardly take a
photograph without photographing Orbs/ Min Min lights.

Presentation:
Paul will give a Power Point presentation of photos he has taken of
Orbs and apparitions and will show us who easy it is to photograph
them.

Paul will organize a field trip following the lecture to a location of
the groups choice, so you to can capture Orbs and maybe some
apparitions on your digital camera.

If you want to know more about these balls of transparent light, come
along to our meeting August 5th and Paul will demonstrate even with the
cleanest of camera lens you too can capture these images.
